伊豆半島富戸の水深11mの砂地です。 6月〜8月にかけてアサヒガニは産卵の為に浅い水深のとこまでやってきます。お尻から砂の中にモソモソ潜っていく姿は本当に何度見ても可愛いです😊 #アサヒガニ

S/O to #BlackBotanistsWeek! I'm Lorenzo, a PhD student studying beneficial plant-microbe interactions in the root system. The best part of my research is I really think about how plants work with both fungi & bacteria to benefit all parties! 1/4

Just reupping because this post prodded me into doing an application. It was so easy; we were approved within 72 hours, and the money will be a godsend at getting us through a year where COVID has vamoosed several paid gigs. So...apply. (Not as many tricky bits as the PPP.)

When I was 22, I watched a friend become HIV+ cuz he couldn't afford Truvada PrEP which cost s$1,300/m but costs <$6 to make. CDC invented & patented PrEP, but they refused to stop Gilead's price gouging for yrs. Today, the the same thing is happening with remdesivir for COVID.

i really hope the lesson people take from elijah mcclain is not "its extra sad because he was so sweet" but rather, "no amount of gentleness & respectability can protect a black person from the arbitrary wrath of police"

safety in the field is truly an INTERSECTIONAL issue!! think about where queer students are not safe. where women & femmes are not safe. where Black students are not safe. where disabled students are not safe. and recognize there are students with ALL those identities at once.

As June is #PrideMonth, this week on the #EGUblogs we are considering the risks to people who are LGBTQIA+ in having #fieldwork or field based studies located in countries that are dangerous for them. For more detail, read the post: egu.eu/3Y8GTT/
